CHAPTER 03: REVENGE ON THE ENEMY
“What do you mean his guardian?”
“Actually, Alfredo is his godfather” saad niya tapos ay nagsimulang magkwento tungkol dito at nakinig naman ako kasi naging curious na rin ako. “Hindi ko masyadong alam ang buong detalye kasi kahit kailan ay walang kinuwento sa akin si Ren tungkol doon. Ang tanging alam ko ay siya ang nag-alaga sa kanya dito noong Junior Highschool hanggang ngayon”
Kumunot ang noo ko. I don't understand why Alfredo is his guardian. Sa loob ng mahabang panahon ay siya 'yung parang naging magulang ni Florent. It made me curious even more about his life.
“Nasaan ang parents ni Florent?” I asked.
He shrugged his shoulders. “They have divorced when he was only nine years old. Pareho ng may ibang pamilya ang kanyang mga magulang ngayon. Sa huling sinabi sa akin ni Ren ang ina niya ay nandoon na sa Switzerland habang nandito lang ang kanyang ama pero pareho niyang hindi na kinakausap sa loob ng mahabang panahon”
So it means that he has not have a complete family for years. Hindi halata sa kanya. Nakaramdam ako ng awa para sa kanya dahil sa loob ng gaanong panahon ay siguro hindi niya naranasan ang mga ginagawa ng isang pamilya. Parang hindi kompleto ang childhood niya. It seems we are somehow alike who doesn’t experience anything complete together with a family.
“That's quite sad” I commented.
Allen nodded and said. “You know I felt pity towards Ren”
Mapait siyang ngumiti parang may naalala siya biglaan. “Hindi siya masyadong nagkwento tungkol sa kanyang pamilya. Ren is a very secretive person. Even among us his close friends, he keeps a lot of secrets. He never shared with us what had happened to him, so we will never know. Nalaman lang namin na neglected na siya ng magulang niya noong nakilala namin si Tito Alfredo”
“Hindi talaga siya nag-share sa inyo kahit kunti lang? Does he not trust you all? You are his friends?” kunot-noong tanong ko.
“For however long it takes. Ren would be secretive about his life and what he was feeling” Allen responded and sighed tapos ay sumimangot siya. “Even we are his friends, sometimes he doesn't treat us like one. Hindi ko alam kung may tiwala siya sa amin pero palagi naman kaming nandiyan sa kanya”
He suddenly give off a warm smile. “No matter what happens Ren is our friend. Palagi lang namin siya hinihintay na magsabi at hindi namin gusto pangunahan. If something happens we are ready to help him out”
This is one of the reasons I like him as my friend. Allen would always look out for others and take care of them.
“He's lucky to have you as a friend” I replied.
“Swerte rin ako na naging kaibigan ko siya. Mayaman si Ren kaya minsan grabe din siyang manlibre” biro pa ni Allen na kinatawa namin dalawa, kahit seryoso ang pinaguusapan ay mapapalusot niya talaga ang kalokohan niya.
